PROBLEM
• Single layer mode position resets on every time user toggles it. this makes impossible to make comparison
• Default value for single layer is highest point of model and it doesnt present "section" of model. some users not fully understands what it is

SOLUTION
• Store single layer position. and use it if necessary
• Use mid point as default to present model section better

NOTES
• Kept using resetting slider to min max values to show whole model when single layer mode OFF. its better to present whole model when mode OFF. also resetting slider feels more natural

BEFORE
• Default position for single layer mode is highest point. it doesnt present well section of model
• Single layer mode value always resets to highest point of model

AFTER
• Default position for single layer mode is mid point of model. it present better section of model
• Single layer mode remembers position for single layer mode this is useful when toggling mode to make comparison
• Uses high value if user changed high value in slider. so section stays at same position
• Uses mid point of model on first toggle
